My doula had had a VBAC too, The Mrs, so I think that's a plus.

Hi :-)
Is there any protocol here for joining in? I feel like I should introduce myself or something.
I'm in Vic, pregnant with baby number 4, second homebirth, due around the end of Jan.
It was so nice to read along and just feel like people like me were chatting here, so hi.
Congratulations Cricket!

Welcome Special
there are a few victorians here. this will be my #3 baby, 2nd homebirth, due middle of Feb. Do you have the same midwife this time as your previous homebirth? Will your kids be at the birth?

Welcome special! It's nice to have a group of like minded birthing women in this thread.
I had my homebirth in Melbourne

Thanks for the lovely welcome. Yep. Same midwife. I did look into the Homebirth program through Sunshine hospital because money was very tight but it is just too box-ticky and I wouldn't have felt safe. 1 appointment in and all the "big baby" talk was already there. Just had my first appointment with my IM and I immediately felt all comfy and happy.
I have 3 boys, 13, 6 and 4. 13 year old doesn't want to be home for the birth and is taking time to adjust to the whole baby idea. Mr 4 loves the whole thing, watched birth videos and tells everyone he is going to be the first one I kiss the baby. Apparently I get to hug it first since it needs to "smell the boobies"
Hahaha, funny what info they pick up.
I haven't planned much for this birth. Suppose I could get a pool. Work out who will be here, other than Matthew. I'm not an organiser.... Much more a see what happens kind of person.
I'm so excited for those of you having your first homebirths. I just felt like it was special.
